What were they doing with their butlers I wonder.

I don't like going to stadium gigs though, I'm 5'5 and it's just such a pointless thing for me to go to.

If you're on 30k/pa in London, you pay 5k income tax and NI, then you have minimum 10k/year "tax" on top of that in the form of unavoidable rent that goes straight to someone better off. It's so aggravating when the people receiving that money try and balk at paying some of it on to the government.

Well exactly, the aggrieved middle bracket has balanced the books by farming out houses to the less fortunate, turning housing into a speculative asset. Many of these are now paid-off properties generating 40k+ a year, presumably for the foreseeable future. Why would anyone sell that kind of asset?

Just to add to this I bought a property in Zone 3 in 2001 while earning £30k, which adjusted for inflation is £56k, which is now not buying you a 2-bed flat in E17 unless bank of mum and dad are up for it.
